Fukushima is home to the defunct Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and the impact resulted in yet another fatal disaster with long-lasting and irreversible environmental effects. The reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant were successfully shut down, but the loss of power caused residual...
Using the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant incident as its focal point, this paper employs the concepts of generic frames and news domestication to study US media portrayal of the disaster. Specifically, it uses the framing theory on the coverage of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant ...
VIENNA, March 13 (Reuters) – Any partial meltdown of nuclear fuel in a quake-hit power plant in Japan “is not a disaster” and a complete meltdown is unlikely, a German industry expert said on Sunday. Robert Engel, a structural analyst and senior engineer at Switzerland’s Leibstadt nu...
TOKYO, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- The operator of Japan's disaster-hit Fukushima nuclear power plant will be sued by six young people on Thursday over claims that exposure to radiation after the plant's multiple meltdowns caused them to develop thyroid cancer. ...
